Miami Heat small forward Jimmy Butler scored on Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo in crunch time in Game 3, and he made sure to let the Bucks bench know about it.

After scoring on Giannis, Butler turned to the Bucks bench and said, “He can't guard me.”

Jimmy Butler and the Heat are up 3-0 on Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks. This series is likely over, as no team in NBA history has erased a 3-0 deficit in the playoffs.

In Game 3, Butler put up 30 points, seven rebounds and six assists in 35 minutes. The five-time All-Star is one win away from advancing to the Conference Finals for the first time in his NBA career, which began in 2011-12 with the Chicago Bulls.

Heat legend Dwyane Wade said all season that Butler fits the Miami organization to a T and fans are seeing that here in the playoffs at Walt Disney World.
